<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 2489918, member: 5515"]Great guesses everyone! You all have a really great sense for these games now. Beautiful job with the analysis. So...I should hopefully get everything tomorrow at some point. Let me start with a short analysis of my own, and then a few photos:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. One item I <u>love</u> to see in listings is these little ugly weighted candle holders. It's a subtle clue, but if someone has a bit of silver, they might have a lot. And since the listing is a bit ambiguous about whether items are silver or silver plate, seeing these little guys is a great start. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. I'm curious about 4 and 5 also, if I had to guess right now, I would expect #4 to be silver, and I'm hopeful 5 is also, but it's 50/50 based on how it looks if it's going to be real silver. So why don't I ask about 4 and 5? Curioser hits the nail on the head, I really need to find something good in here to justify the purchase. For listings like this, I usually pay a ridiculous amount on shipping, so I need to find something great. If it was local, 4 and 5 might make it enough with the rest, but I need big finds.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what did I ask for photos of? I wanted to see the bottom of 11 and 8, I got three photos back. Here's the photos....so do you think I got it right???????</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]266837[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]266838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]266839[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
